Later, the new parents also posted the statement on their Instagram handles.

Sonam had taken to social media earlier this year to announce her pregnancy with a trail of adorable pictures with Anand as she flaunted her baby bump. In the caption, she mentioned," Four hands. To raise you the very best we can. Two hearts. That will beat in unison with yours, every step of the way. One family. Who will shower you with love and support. We can’t wait to welcome you. #everydayphenomenal."

The duo tied the knot in May 2018 in Mumbai and their wedding functions were attended by the who's who of Bollywood, becoming the biggest celebrity affair of the year. On the work front, Sonam was last seen in the 2019 film The Zoya Factor. She has now joined hands with director Shome Makhija for the film Blind, which also stars Purab Kohli, Vinay Pathak and Lillete Dubey in pivotal roles.
